I often stand naked in front of a full-length mirror, studying myself to better come to terms with my imperfections. It’s not an easy thing to do though, and quite frankly I feel IKEA security could be a little bit more supportive.

In the aquarium

A late night

You see this across the New Forest. Along with the holly trees being grazed to the height the ponies can reach. They have very dextrous mouths and still seem to be able to nibble the spiney ones when the forage is poor in winter.

Sodding car keys!

Peanut butter Reeses

That’s a shame, but well done on banning them. It was as you say a useful discussion and the time of year when people might want to hear shelters.

Nalgene bottle as a hot water bottle. or a proper wood stove with a chimney.

I have a Garmin so I can try that. When I have used a map app or a GPS the bearing presented has been the same as the one from a map and compass. They are then using GPS information rather than just the compass.

I might try a bottle of Captain Morgan’s spiced gold rum zero this Christmas as a mixer.

Car or canoe camping only for cast iron. Maybe take a cast iron skillet a few KM’s on foot but not much further.

Cheap compasses do work but the needle tends to stick when not absolutely horizontal and can be slow to swing to north. Fine for orientation of the map to north but frustrating when trying to use for more open country bearings.

I used 3 different models of Silva Compass, compass app on iPhone and also the compass within the OS Locate app. Phone compass Indoors the difference was 19° Outdoors it was 3/4° The phone compass was more accurate after it had been outside and I wonder if it will recalibrate and the...

I wear Scarpa Terra GTX. They are a light weight leather boot. I have a narrow foot and find them comfortable. They are graded as low level boots and have enough flex in them. I wear them all year and in the mountains without any problem.

Abe books, even though they are owned by Amazon. I buy as little as possible from Amazon, but for books and that they are hard to compete with. Charity shops but it’s an are day they have anything as specific as the books mentioned.

Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. One of the best albums ever made.
